mysql: DELIMITER syntax error at line 1

Question

I try to add this function using the following SQL in phpmyadmin/MySQL

DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS `__myv`;
DELIMITER ;;
CREATE   FUNCTION `__myv`(`a` int, `b`          


        

Answer 1

Even if DELIMITER is a console command, phpMyAdmin's import module has accepted it since many years. When opening a database and clicking on SQL, a query entered there is passed to the import module, so it should work (unless you have a very old phpMyAdmin version).
